Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 1372: Gates

Somewhere on the North side of the compound, two figures had just arrived at the vicinity of the Northern gate. After more than two hundred miles of sneaking past the mobs of Nightwalker, they turned to each other when they saw the closed gate.

”How are you going to play this, Sword Saint?” Anzi asked to Olivier, as he had been told to listen to the latterʼs orders for this task.

Even though the question was clearly heard, Olivier remained silent as usual. His attention was focused on the personal device as he seemed to be waiting for something. This naturally irritated the young acolyte with a mask that covered half of his face, but recalling what he was told, he remained silent as well.

A few minutes later, Olivier suddenly stood up, ”Itʼs time.”

”Huh! Finally! Now what do you want me to do?”

Upon hearing that, he just threw a brief glance before saying, ”Just follow me and make sure you donʼt get left behind”

Anzi was only more annoyed after hearing such an answer. ”Urggh! You are even more irritating than that dragon bastard!” Veins could be seen appearing on his face as he said, ”Just be glad that you are not a half-blood!”

Alas, Olivier ignored him as he quickly dashed towards the outpost. From the intel previously provided, he knew there were two elf magus and at least two dozen elven guards, guarding each of the eight watchtowers surrounding the compound.

These watchtowers were built to serve as a lookout for anything approaching the barrier and, in addition, they were also where the location of the energy generator crystals that power up the formation barrier protecting the whole compound.

If one managed to destroy the crystal, it would only open access to the side of the barrier where said watchtower was. To destroy the whole formation barrier, one had to destroy all eight crystals.

But right now, the task given to Olivier and Anzi only required them to open up the northern side of the complex.

The watchtower was a five-story tower that was nearly impenetrable from outside the compound, thanks to the energy barrier encompassing its entirety. But on the other hand, its defense was almost non-existent from inside the compound.

No one thought that the attack would come from behind, hence with the [Invisibility Cape] and his powerful time spells, Olivier managed to carve a path of blood after he snuck into the watchtower. He killed nearly all of the dark elvesʼ guards before they could do anything, while leaving Anzi struggling to follow from behind.

When the two of them reached the fourth floor of the watchtower, however, a deafening alarm siren went off and alerted everyone within the compound, causing the two dark elf magus to stand between them and the highest floor where the crystal was located.

”How could these two human rats arrive here!?”

Even though confused, the two elves didnʼt really care about the arrival of merely two weak human acolytes. Instead, their eyes were fixed on the window, looking outside to check where a more powerful figure would have come with them.

”Must be hiding,” one of the dark elf magi said with a derisive snort. ”You humans can only use such lowly tricks!”

It was at this moment that Olivier finally spoke to Anzi who was behind him. ”The alarm has sounded, we donʼt have much time. Itʼs your turn, hold them both here for me.”

After Saying those words, Olivier performed a gesture with his sword and cast his powerful time spell.

[Temporal Shift]

In an instant, the entire fourth floor was engulfed by the omnipresent power of time. The spell immediately affected the two elf magus without being able to react, slowing them down greatly, while Olivier himself cast [Sonic Thrust].

His figure disappeared as he leapt into the air and charged towards the dark magus. On top of that, he was moving at a speed even the elf magus couldnʼt fathom.

However, Olivierʼs sword strike didnʼt actually aim to critically injure the elf magus. Instead, it forced the two of them to separate from each other, in which Olivier took advantage of the opening and shot up to the fifth floor.

”He fooled us! Stop him!”

Unfortunately, just as the two were about to give chase, two large arms covered in black liquid managed to grab onto their bodies, holding them back from pursuing. They quickly tried to break free, but found themselves unable to do so. ɌáΝοВƐś

”You two will be fighting me!” Anzi shouted, having transformed into his Inhuman form.

On the highest floor of the watchtower, Olivier wasted no time and immediately destroyed the crystal, causing a tear in the formation barrier. An opening of several meters was thus created that allowed anyone to pass unharmed.

Right after, Olivier sensed a spatial distortion suddenly appearing nearby. Proving what he predicted, a spatial gate opened and two dozen dark elf magus shot out from it before hovering in the air.

Olivier turned solemn when he saw the group of magus, especially when he saw the last person to appear. The one who stepped out before the gate closed was the infamous grand magus who was proficient in space magic ” Zenonia of the Bat bloodline.

Zenonia appears a bit surprised to see only a single acolyte standing in front of her. But then, she turned her head towards the tear that was created and saw twenty Magus Academyʼ magus had arrived led by Headmaster Delbrand himself.

Assessing the situation, she returned her gaze to Delbrand and said, ”I knew that you would come, but seriously? With such a group of losers? No, no, you must have something else under your sleeve.”

To her surprise, a reply quickly came from the headmaster. ”Unfortunately, in such a short time of preparation, I can only bring those I can trust, but you are right. I still have something prepared and itʼs not what you expect.”

Saying those words, Delbrand took out something from his storage ring. Zenoniaʼs eyes bulged as she caught sight of the sphere that gave off a constant pulsation, which served to prevent any spatial magic in the area from taking effect.

”Iʼm exactly here for you, Zenonia, to defeat you or at least to keep you busy.”

Zenonia turned annoyed, her eyes looking back toward the compound she had just left, wondering what plan her opponent had prepared for her.

Another fight quickly commenced on the Northern gate, this time an all out battle between dozens of magus and two powerfull grand magus
